Rooted Parent

Cameron and Anna welcome very special Rooted friend Tish Harrison Warren to discuss something parents and teenagers need: resilience. Her newest book, What Grows in Weary Lands: On Christian Resilience is a balm for the soul of anyone who has had to persevere through seasons of spiritual dryness, a dullness of spirit or soul, or a season when God seems to be silent and inactive (good news: He is neither, but sometimes it can feel that way for years).
Tish Harrison Warren is a writer and an Anglican priest. Her books include the award-winning Liturgy of the Ordinary and Prayer In the Night. She is a former columnist at the New York Times and Christianity Today. A senior fellow with the Trinity Forum and an assisting priest at Immanuel Anglican Church, Warren lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and three children.

Tune in for a very special episode of the Rooted Parent podcast, in which Anna discusses divorce with Rooted's executive director, Hannah Dow, and guest author Vaneetha Rendall Risner. Risner has written an important book: This Was Never the Plan: Walking with God through the Heartache of Divorce. If you have been through a divorce, you will want to hear the renewed hope Vaneetha has found in Christ; if you have not suffered a divorce, you will still want to hear her story so that you can pray and care for both parents and children.
Vaneetha Rendall Risner is the author of several books, including This Was Never the Plan: Walking with God Through the Heartache of Divorce. She and her husband, Joel, live in Raleigh, where she shares on her website about Christ’s unwavering presence in suffering. Two grown daughters call her mom. Her story includes childhood bullying, losing an infant son, developing post-polio syndrome, and going through an unwanted divorce. You can find her at vaneetha.com.

In this final episode of the Good Good News season, Cameron and Anna talk about one of their very topics; the glorification we will experience in heaven with Jesus. Keeping heaven in our sights while we're on this earth helps us have a wiser perspective on what matters- and what does not matter- in this life. And of course the very best thing about heaven is being with Jesus forever!

For some of us, the concept of sanctification carries a sense of burden or dread, as if responsibility for change lies with us. In this episode, Cameron and Anna dive into the Scripture for reminders that our sanctification is God's job, not ours. We are sanctified through the truth, in our relationship with Jesus, by the Spirit. Now that's good news!
